cool. you have one of those phones that shows the callers image?  or are you psychic?

A call asking for "Cole"  ?

I got this call several times today. I usually don't answer until I know who it is and they never leave a message.

Don't know anybody from NY yet I got a call from this same number twice, 11:18am and 1:54pm.  Did not answer.

Hi,

Our website http://www.collegegenie.com is a one person blog.  We provide free education related information.  We do not collect any phone numbers or contact any of the visitors of our site.  The number mentioned in this report is from New York area.  This blog is run from the west coast.   It is very well possible that this individual has sumbmitted their personal information by clicking on one of the advertisements displayed by Google on which we have no control and now that company is calling them.  The only way we recoup our blog webhosting costs are through advertising.   We do not call anyone and don't make any money by calling anyone or collecting any information.  I would like to request this user not to defame this free blog.  

Once again, no one is calling them from this blog.   If someon is making random scam calls by using my name, then I am not sure what to do about that.

Thanks,
CollegeGenie.com Hostmaster

If questioning why someone posts; I can't help but be curious too.  Why do you spend time reading them?
They must have some significance for you...

i got a call from this number but i did not answer it.  i don't know 646 area code.

Do not want to call.

Well, if what you say is true, then how come when I caled the number back I received a message saying clearly, "Hello, you have reached College Genie"?  Nice try, slick...

They keep asking for my dad

the called me like 3 times

I got a call from the 646 number 3 times in one day, it happened to be at work. if they call on my day off, then I am going to tell them to put me on their do not call list. They just frustrated me.

This is who answers when I call the number.  They have called me 3 times a day every day this week.  I don't answer because I don't know the number.  I have a generic voicemail and so they don't know it's me.  Their blog says that they do not call people.  Really??  Then how is it that your number is showing up

Then find out how someone is calling from your number!

STOP calling us.

Overhaul their blog by posting your frustrations.  Tell everyone you know to do this.  Something will stop them from cold-calling us.  Let's see how they like it.  I've called several times and occupy their time with my pointless questions.

Note: We do not call anyone.

Some of the users have contacted us that we have called them.  Please not we do not call anyone and we do not have a calling list.   This is a free informational site.

this is a direct quote from your blog.  QUIT CALLING or your receive the business end of a lawsuit.
Youv should really work on your english Dr. Clement Okon..................

Definitely just got a call from this number. Quit harassing me or you'll be hearing from me in a much more unpleasant way.

K, well I have been getting calls from this number too non stop. But really, posting on HERE telling them to stop won't do crap. It's not like they're gonna come on here and read this and say "Oh Ok." You are either just gonna have to ignore them, or like someone mentioned before, answer the phone and swear at them and hang up, or be completely rude. Eventually they should stop calling.
Again, posting on here and asking them to stop calling is not gonna do anything.

If you have AT&T U-verse with Phone, you can go to the U-Verse website and block the number.
Works wonders.

Maybe the DNC list only applies to telemarketers?  I don't know if it works that way or not...

Anyway, many colleges/universities have "Survey Research Centers" on campus.  Essentially, that is a center (call-center), contracted by some agency, local government, or medical researcher to conduct a telephone survey with a target demographic, say "people with diabetes" or "people in San Bernardino County".  So you say that these people were asking for the/a person with diabetes, that means they know a person with diabetes likely lives there.  How? Because that peson or someone who knows them maybe filled out a form Online, requested information, searched a diabetes website, or somehow their name got on a list of people who probably have Diabetes.  Then, a Researcher purchases that list, and uses the names to build a list of respondents to his survey about interest in a new drug or therapy.  

I know I worked as an Interviewer in one of these Centers several years ago in college. My University was in Texas.  Most of our contracts were local governments in Southern California.  We were asking respondents about everything from streetlights and road conditions to programs and events.  It is a highly useful service, IF you can get people to respond because it helps whoever is paying for the survey to know where and how to distribute their funding.  The reason you will usually hear a foreign voice is because International students are not allowed to work off-campus w/o an H1B Visa, so they gobble- up the on-campus jobs.  As for why sometimes no one speaks, the Center may be stuck with incerdibly cheap equipment (automatic dialers) that don't fully connect calls, delay once connected, get stuck on mute, or maybe the Interviewer just didn't turn it off when he went on break.  We didn't leave messages either, but that was a rule - I don't remember why.  We never asked for any private info though, only optional demographic questions (age group, race).  And we had to return calls until we made contact with the intended respondent and that person said "not interested".

My mom has diabetes, so they probably got my info from a diabetes website I searched.  That is called Data Mining, and your information could me mined from any website you visit if it has been programmed that way.  Anyway now that I know what this is, I will definitely answer the next call.  I am quite interested in anything someone may be researching which could prolong my mom's life.
